Manufacturers face a demanding task when testing products that have multiple parts or multiple cavities. The test typically must check each part or pathway to make certain nothing leaks. A multi channel sequential leak test is decribed that can assist manufacturers with the sometime difficult task of testing meult-chambered parts or devices.

The Problem


Manufacturers face a demanding task when testing products that have multiple parts or multiple cavities. The test typically must check each part or pathway to make certain nothing leaks.


Most often, the tester must be cost effective so numerous stations can be implemented to increase production output. Custom-built multi-channel testers, sometimes assembled from computers and various measuring equipment, often become an awkward collection of difficult to operate and difficult to maintain components.


The Solution


Sprint iQ model 4S is a four-channel sequential tester incorporating everything needed to test multiple products or devices that consist of multiple parts or separate cavities. Sprint iQ 4S can test up to four parts in sequence using a pressure drop technique. It can be programmed to conduct four tests at a time on four independent products or on four parts of the same product. The Sprint iQ 4-channel sequential tester can be ordered with optional flow or burst test functions.
